Scarborough's All Weather Lifeboat made the rescue last night.
Last night at 6.31pm, Scarborough’s all weather lifeboat (ALB) was tasked by Humber Coastguard to assist a fishing vessel taking on water and in danger of sinking.
Using a latitude and longitude position provided by the Coastguard, the ALB made swift contact with the vessel, which fortunately still had power, and escorted it safely back to Scarborough Harbour.
Once in the harbour, the ALB crew ensured both the crew and vessel were safe and began pumping sea water from the boat to help stabilise the situation.
